We are witnessing the creation of a new industry leader that will have more than 100 treatments in mid to late stage development. This deal gives Pfizer access to fast-growing treatments in eye care and dermatology, including brands like Botox and Juvéderm.

Price increases are unlikely because most of the treatments the merged companies have do not overlap. Now Pfizer will be big enough and have the product diversity to create faster-to-market innovative drugs as well as more treatments that have been around longer that are already competing with generic products.

While the downside is the potential loss of American jobs as Pfizer moves its headquarters over to Dublin, there is an upside for consumers. The company will be able to operate with greater resources which means more research and development of new drugs that will cure disease.

Pfizer chairman and CEO, Ian Read said, “The proposed combination of Pfizer and Allergan will create a leading global pharmaceutical company with the strength to research, discover and deliver more medicines and therapies to more people around the world… We will continue to pump in $9 billion globally into research, mostly in the United States. These sort of resources are being brought together to cure major illnesses for humanity.”

The Viagra Botox merger means we can look forward to a bright future full of anti aging innovation from the largest drug company in the world, Pfizer-Allergan.
